Working and Networking

Actually we started working actively and networking on the idea of buying a flat in Berlin about one year ago. Asking friends if they heard about someone doing it. Getting tips online and browsing forums on the net.

Friends and acquaintances who had gone for it seemed to have done their homework thoroughly but reassured us. The steps for buying a home abroad were quite straightforward after all.

Still, where to buy and more importantly, at what price?

How was the track record of housing prices in Berlin? was the market stabilizing as the IHT article suggested or was it too late? We regularly browsed, read articles, perused German newspaper ads, subscribed to real estate newsletters. We started to acquire the vocabulary (the German one).
